General Notes: Husband - John Neff

---

The lineage of this family traces back to stanch Holland-Dutch stock. Two brothers of the name expressed too freely in their native land their religious convictions, and this brought down upon them the ill will of the government authorities, with the result that, to escape persecution, they left Holland and immigrated to America. Here they became early settlers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and in 1816 became one of the pioneer settlers in what is now South Mahoning township, Indiana County. There he cleared a small tract, erecting a primitive log house, and then turned his attention vigorously to the improving of his land.
